Kinase-associated Endopeptidase 1 (Kae1) Participates in an Atypical Ribosome-associated Complex in the Apicoplast of Plasmodium falciparum

Abstract: Background: Kae1 proteins are universally conserved and are regulated by a variety of protein-protein interactions. Results: P. falciparum expresses two Kae1 proteins with distinct localizations and atypical binding partners. Conclusion: Kae1api is essential and a potential regulator of ribosome activity. Significance: The Kae1 protein family likely has an expanded role outside of its known tRNA-modifying activity.

“…36 In the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the cytoplasmic KAE1 gene appears to be essential. 37 Recent studies have shown that the absence of KAE1 also leads to strong phenotypes in multicellular organisms, such tissue-specific cell growth regulated by t 6 A in flies. 38,39 It is thus not surprising that a mutation that lowers t 6 A levels in humans even by 25% would lead to severe clinical phenotype, raising the possibility that Kae1 null could be embryonic lethal.…”

“…Immunoblotting suggested that GCP1 was specific to mitochondria and absent in plastids (Haussuehl et al, 2009). It remains to be determined if this function is also required within plastids, which we suspect it is because this function is required in apicoplasts (Mallari et al, 2014). Plastid stromal DEG2 (#45) connects module III and IV and shares two coexpressors with DAP2 (AT3G29185 and AT3G62000; both encoding for plastid proteins).…”

“…falciparum contains 2 nuclear encoded homologs of Tcs3 (Table 3): a Tcs3 that is similar to the yeast Tcs3, and an apicoplast-targeting Tcs3b, that is similar to Tcs3, 60 but is phylogenetically distant from all known Tcs3 and from the bacterial TsaD (Thiaville and de Cr ecy-Lagard, unpublished). Tcs3 interacts with both Tcs5 (Bud32) and Tcs7 (Cgi121), and Tcs3b interacts with multiple proteins associated with the apicoplast ribosome (Mallari and Goldberg, personal communication).…”
